Lovely red house by the sea. Big enough for 10 people and there were toilets in every room. The restaurant served amazing reindeer meat as well. We tried the outdoor jacuzzi and it was an unforgettable/challenging moment to do this in winter when we were all so accustomed to tropical climates. Read more

The stay was fantastic. The views were breathtaking, and the room was comfortable. The hotel exceeded our expectations, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I was impressed with the balcony that offered stunning views, perfect for capturing early morning and night pictures. Read more

Stunning location looking out across a beach, over the bay, towards the mountains, with a row of windmills along a ridge on one side. The beach house we stayed in was huge, with unobstructed views from giant windows. The main bedroom was amazing with cathedral windows (the other two were are little small and cramped).

The food was beautifully prepared and very delicious. There was a superb breakfast. We were very appreciative of a place to charge an electric car (which we had), which meant that it could charge overnight and we didn't have to spend time during the day to charge it.

It seemed too fancy for us, but I'm so glad we ended up spending a night there. It was quite high-end, with a very elegant dining room, waited on by very attentive staff. There was breakfast right over the water, a sauna and outdoor jacuzzi (and we were lucky enough to be treated to an amazing display of the Northern Lights from the jacuzzi - I will never forget that experience!)
Location
Not far from Tromso distance-wise, but quiet and surrounded by beautiful countryside and ocean. Also very close to the ferry to Senja with its incredible mountains
Staff
Very patient with all my many questions

The beach house was literally right on the beach. There were a number of others, but the way they were arranged one wasn't aware of the others. It was very well appointed with kitchen and dining area as well as comfortable places to sit, very comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, a deck, and amazing views
